FIRST THE DRAGON STARTED SWIMMING, THEN THE BEAR  TOOK TO THE ARCTIC ICE, NOW THE PEACOCK IS TRYING TO IMITATE A SEAGULL. WILL THERE EVER BE AN END TO TROUBLE MAKING ON THE WORLD'S OCEANS.


Iran Plans to Establish New Navy Base


Iran's official news agency says the country's navy plans to establish a new base near Pakistan's border in the Sea of Oman.
IRAN NEEDS NEW NAVAL BASES BECAUSE  MUCH OF ITS NAVY  IS VERY SHORT RANGE  BUT NONE THE LESS TROUBLESOME TO COMMERCIAL OIL TRAFFIC AND THE LARGE SHIP NAVIES ATTEMPTING TO PROTECT SUCH TRAFFIC

The plans are part of Iranian ambitions to exert its naval power outside the Persian Gulf, including sending warships to the Mediterranean and claiming it might someday have ships in the Atlantic.

IRAN'S KILO CLASS DIESEL SUBMARINE IS THE  MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE FOR MEDITERRANEAN AND ATLANTIC DEPLOYMENT. THE KILO WOULD NEED SURFACE SHIP SUPPORT BEYOND THE MEDITERRANEAN. A CONVERTED AND DISGUISED MERCHANT SHIP COULD SERVE SUCH A PURPOSE. 

The IRNA report on Sunday quotes Adm. Habibollah Sayyari as saying that the base will be built in Pasabandar, about 30 kilometers (100 miles) west of Pakistani major port of Gwadar.
